The vision of the film is to tell the stories of the people who work to preserve the legacy of wolves in Yellowstone. Telling their story will be the inspiration that helps the viewer to gain insight into the heart of wolf advocacy.

In this promotional teaser I went Wolf watching in Yellowstone National Park with Leo Leckie and Ilona Popper.

Ilona is one of the film’s featured wolf advocates. Ilona Popper lives near Yellowstone National Park. She spends time in the field watching wolves, writing about wolves she’s observed, and advocating to preserve their legacy.

Up before dawn on a cold crisp 14 degrees to find Yellowstone wolves. I was lucky enough to see three wolf packs while In Yellowstone. ~Rachel Tilseth
